I was introduced to Piece Of Mind as an 8 year old in 1983.  It was totally life changing at that point as I didn't know music like that existed.  It was the end of my days of listening to Men At Work and Loverboy etc.  I was way into music already but I became a full fledged little metal head...

The live 3 disc set, Live Scenes From New York has some amazing JP work if you don't have that yet buy it.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cECmfwdAX7A Another thing with JP is, he isn't just playing fast 3 note per string patterns up and down scales.  His fast stuff is often intricate and very...

I saw Bruce and Alex do that acoustically, along with 4 other acoustic songs from Balls To Picasso at a Hard Rock Cafe in Boston in 1994 as part of the promotion for the album.  Bruce was really nice and signed a bunch of stuff for me afterwards.  My friend took a few of pictures of Bruce and I...

Definitely check out Guthrie Govan's Erotic Cakes album.  Or start by checking out some of his stuff on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yPEewaalik he may be from another planet.   :) On Black Clouds & Silver Linings I love JP's intro and outro solo's on The Count Of Tuscany, great...

Superior.  CD sample rate is 44.1 the DVD-A is 88.2 and the 5.1 is 24 bit as well.

5.1 and stereo are both available on the disc. I think it's tough to find, I'll try and send a copy of that along with your other discs.  :)

Jeff, I may be able to upload those at some point for you.  But those albums, DOD and AMOLAD in particular sound really similar.  I also have the DVD-A of DOD, don't know if you have ever heard that one.  Obviously that version makes a huge difference. I can try and upload the stereo 88.2/16...

I hope you don't think I came off as incendiary or trying to belittle your love of Dave, I wasn't trying to upset you.   I would say go check out Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane, Andy Timmons, and Allan Holdsworth for guys who have that magic combo.  I think Vai has it too when he wants to.  Another...

Oh, sorry for the confusion man, it's probably my fault.  Very little sleep over the last 3 days.  Like I said I really can't compare those albums because I never listened much to the US versions or the Japanese versions because I'm not really into those four albums.  I think JeffMetal likes...

I think you meant Portnoy?  Petrucci is DT's guitar player. :)  Though Petrucci is certainly a monster player. +1 to that.

I guess it's comes down to a matter of opinion.  I think Dave is great, but I think there are actually a great many players who are his equal or surpass him both in the studio and live.  And to go off course just a bit, and just focus on speed (which I realize is not the end all be all) but Dave...

I think a lot of what you wrote makes sense but it's a little sentimental.  I won't argue with what you wrote since you stated it as opinion, but if you really feel that way I think you are missing out on a ton of amazing players who can play much faster than Dave and with just as much feel and...

Yax and Stan thanks for answering all the questions, and giving so much insight.  It's much appreciated.

I think whether you get them or not depends on if it's important to you to have those.  It's not that the mastering is different on the Black Triangles from the original US and UK pressings, it's that the attention to detail, the quality of the machines used, and the over production of the...

After that point most people feel that there isn't much if any of of a difference.  I think the guy to ask about those versions is JeffMetal.  I have the Japanese pressings of everything but I'm not a huge fan of NPFTD, FOTD, X-Factor, and VXI so I didn't listen to them that much when they were...

I guess I'll have to wait until the current season comes out on DVD to see it.  :(

Yes.  I had to rent them all from Netflix as I don't subscribe to Showtime, but it's a great show.

I check the site, but I haven't read his book, should I get it?  I'm a big fan of Dawkins, Harris, Hitchence, and Dennet as well. Skeptic magazine is about debunking beliefs and claims of the supernatural among other things by using scientific methods.  It has nothing to do with the occult...

+1.  I  even have a subscription to Skeptic magazine.  I love that publication.

Yeah but given the context of the song, and Bruce's comments I think it appears he is talking about it in the modern sense of a deceptive sales tactic.  Selling someone something that isn't what it seems or that they can't actually afford just to profit form it.   But lyrics are always open to...
